The district leaned Democratic and Conway portrayed Northup as an ineffective legislator, while Northup had more campaign money to spend. After a tight contest, Conway was narrowly defeated on November 5, 2002, with 48.4 percent to 51.6 percent. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee tried to convince Conway to run again for the same seat in 2004, but he declined.

Famous quotes containing the word race:
“The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live merely by conformity, practically as their fathers did, and are in no sense the progenitors of a nobler race of men.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
